Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

So, what do you get when you cross a gamma-radiation contaminated man with a mutagen-induced mutant turtle? You get this guy. Teenage Mutant Ninja Hulk (Well, maybe he’s more middle-aged than teen-aged).

Generic, Two-Faced Barbarian

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Like so many other generic hero toys produced through the years, this figure was a badly-executed ripoff of the iconic 80s toyline, Masters of the Universe (unfortunately, I don’t know the name of this character or the toyline he comes from… sorry folks).

Monday, November 5th, 2007

“Holy diaper rash, Batman!”
It’s Batman and Robin as you’ve never seen them before. They’re 7″ vinyl squeeze toys… and they’re babies.

You got some big-ass lips!

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

So… I’ve been debating what my first toy submission should be, and that got me thinking. What are the elements that make a good, weird toy.
